The present application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201610566545.8 filed on Jul. 19, 2016, the entirety of which is incorporated by reference herein.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor integrated circuit, more particularly to a metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET); the present invention further relates to a method for manufacturing the MOSFET.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

For MOS devices frequently used in current semiconductor fabrication technology, the existing MOSFET is structured as shown in FIG. 1. Taking an N-type MOSFET as an example, the existing MOSFET includes:

P-type well region 101 formed in the surface of the semiconductor substrate.

A gate dielectric layer, such as a gate oxide layer 102, and a polysilicon gate sequentially formed on the surface of said well region 101.

Side walls 105 formed on both sides of said polysilicon gate 103.

Lightly doped drain regions 104 and heavily doped source/drain implanted regions 106 are formed in said well region 101 on both sides of said polysilicon gate 103, wherein said lightly doped drain regions 104 are self-aligned with the sides of said polysilicon gate 103, and said source/drain implanted regions 106 are self-aligned with the sides of said side walls 105 on both sides of said polysilicon gate 103. The overlap between said lightly doped drain region 104 and said source/drain implanted region 106 on one side of said polysilicon gate 103 constitutes the source region, and the overlap between said lightly doped drain region 104 and said source/drain implanted region 106 on the other side of said polysilicon gate 103 constitutes the drain region.

As described in FIG. 1, said source region and said drain region of the existing MOSFET are totally symmetrical and have identical performance, such as breakdown voltage, parasitic resistance and capacitance.

For the existing structure, the breakdown voltage of the device needs to be raised by increasing the concentration of impurity in the source and drain regions, and the junction depths of the source and drain regions. To avoid source/drain punch through, the channel of the device will have to be increased accordingly with the junction depths of the source and drain regions, so raising the breakdown voltage of the device is in contradiction with reducing the dimensions of the device. For power-related applications which need an array of devices, the increase in the size of individual devices significantly influences the size of the whole chip.

At the same time, in prior art, the thickness of gate oxide layer 102 of the device needs to be reduced, in order to reduce the gate-induced drain leakage (GIDL) current, which is induced by the high electric field between gate and drain, around the border between the source and drain junctions and polysilicon gate 103. However, the thickening of gate oxide layer 102 will be accompanied by the weakening of the current driving capability of the device, so in the existing structure, reducing GIDL is in contradiction with increasing the current driving capability of the device.
